Module 1: Background and Structure of
RDA
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1

What’s wrong with AACR? • Increasingly complex
• Lack of logical structure
• Mixing content and carrier data
• Hierarchical relationships missing
• Anglo-American centric viewpoint
• Written before FRBR
• Not enough support for collocation
• Before Internet and well-formed metadata Based on slide from Ann Chapman, UKOLN
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1

1997 International Conference on the Principles and Future Development
of AACR
• Toronto, Canada
• JSC invited worldwide experts
• Issues leading to RDA
• Principles
• Content vs. carrier
• Logical structure of AACR
• Seriality
• Internationalization

JSC collaborations
• Metadata groups– IFLA: models,
principles, ISBD– ISSN– ONIX (publishers):
content, etc., types– Dublin Core, W3C,
IEEE/LOM, Semantic web: data modeling
– MARBI: MARC revisions
• Library groups, e.g.,– Law: treaties– Hebraica: Bible– Manuscripts and
archives: DACS– Moving image and
music: AMIM– Still image: CCO
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1

GOALS: RDA will be …
• A new standard for resource description and access
• Designed for the digital world• Optimized for use as an online product• Description and access of all resources
• All types of content and media
• Resulting records usable in the digital environment (Internet, Web OPACs, etc.)
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
8
RDA based on IFLA’s international models and principles
• Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR; 1998)
• Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD; 2009)
• Statement of International CataloguingPrinciples (ICP; 2009) -- the successor to the Paris Principles
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
9
General Principles (ICP)
• Convenience of user
• Representation
• Common usage
• Accuracy
• Sufficiency and necessity
• Significance
• Economy
• Consistency and Standardization
• Integration
• Defensible, not arbitrary
• If contradict, take a defensible, practical solution.
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
10
FRBR • IFLA’s Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)
• User tasks– Find– Identify– Select– Obtain
• Entities, Relationships, Attributes
• Mandatory elements for a national level bibliographic record
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
11
Addresses user tasks
FRBR:
• Find
• Identify
• Select
• Obtain
FRAD:
• Find
• Identify
• Contextualize
• Justify
• ICP’s highest principle = “convenience of the user”
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
12
FRBR’s Entity-Relationship Model
• Entities• Relationships• Attributes (data elements)
• National level required elements

Terminology
• FRBR & FRAD “attributes” = “elements” in RDA
• FRBR and FRAD Group 1 entities (bibliographic resources):– Work– Expression– Manifestation– Item
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1

FRBR “Group 1” entities
• “Book”– Door prop

Current Cataloging Environment
• Web-based• Wide range of information carriers • More complex content
• Metadata (bibliographic information) – Created by a wider range of personnel in
and outside libraries – Sometimes part of the resource– Element-based metadata schemas
• Dublin Core, ONIX, etc.

Quiz on FRBR
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
43
AACR2 to RDA vocabulary
• heading • author, composer,
etc.
• main entry
• uniform title
authorized access point
creator
preferred title + authorized access point for creator if appropriate
(1) preferred title (+ other information to differentiate);
(2) conventional collective title
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
44
AACR2 to RDA vocabulary
• see reference
• see also reference
• physical description
variant access point
authorized access point for related entity
carrier description
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
45
AACR2 to RDA vocabulary
• GMD
• chief source
media type +
carrier type +content type
preferred sources
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
46
RDA is a content standard
• Not a display standard (as is AACR2)– Does have appendix D for ISBD and appendix
E for AACR2 style for access points
• Not an encoding standard– Use whatever schema you prefer (MARC 21,
Dublin Core, etc.)
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
47
Mappings, etc., for transition
• RDA Appendix D mappings:– ISBD to RDA– MARC 21 bibliographic format to RDA
• RDA Appendix E:– Presentation and punctuation of access points– MARC 21 authority format mapping to RDA
• Other mappings in the RDA Toolkit
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
48
More international
• Focus on local user needs
• Choice of agency preparing the description:– Language of additions to access points– Language of supplied data– Script and transliteration– Calendar– Numeric system
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
49
For wider scope of resources
• Response to what’s being acquired in libraries– More elements for non-printed text resources– More elements for non-text resources– More elements for unpublished resources
• Supplemented by specialist manuals
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
50
Includes authority data instructions
• Based on attributes and relationships in FRAD
• Authorized/variant access points and elements will for now continue to be documented in authority records
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
51
Has controlled vocabularies
• Only a few closed: content, media, and carrier types; mode of issuance; etc.
• Most are open: cataloger can supply term if needed term not in list
• Vocabularies being registered on the Web (http://metadataregistry.org/rdabrowse.htm) -- goal of multiple languages and/or scripts– Want vendors to provide drop-down menus
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
52
RDA Structure
• General introduction• Identifying elements (entities and their
attributes)– Ch. 1-7: work, expression, manifestation, item– Ch. 8-16: person, family, corporate body, place
• Relationships: ch. 17-22, 24-32• Appendices• Glossary• Index
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
53
RDA structure
• Not by class of materials: no separate chapters for books, printed music, etc.– Overarching principles applicable to all
• Basic goals: identify and relate (from FRBR/FRAD user tasks and ICP)
• Chapters: separate elements for goals– Assemble those elements when need
authorized access points (instructions at end of chapters 6, 9-11)
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
54
RDA Toolkit not to be read linearly
• Using the online RDA Toolkit:– “Jumping in” via keyword searches– Going directly to elements from Table of
Contents (ToC) pane– Following links– Seeing some duplication of content (needed for
context)
• Printed text version of RDA is available• Printed version of the RDA element set (a
subset of the RDA content) in summer 2011
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
55
Core elements in RDA
• Based on attributes mandatory for a national level record in FRBR and FRAD
• Core elements listed as a group in RDA 0.6 and separately in appropriate chapters– Agency, consortium, etc., can add others
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
56
“Core-ness” identified at element level in RDA
• If always a core element (if applicable and available), label CORE ELEMENT appears below element name
• If use as a core element depends upon the situation, the label CORE ELEMENT is followed by an explanation of the situation
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
57
Other choices in RDA
• Alternatives and options
• “or” instructions
• “agency preparing …” instructions
LC RDA: NASIG 2011 - Module 1
58
Review
• Current environment• What’s wrong with AACR2?• Foundations for RDA: ICP, FRBR, FRAD• Terminology• RDA structure
